US Marine Corp KC130J's at Christchurch


Two United States Marine Corp Lockheed KC130J Hercules arrived at Christchurch on the afternoon of 28 November from Pago Pago. 166382 and 168067, both using "RAIDR" callsigns, had originated from MCAS Miramar, north of San Diego and the closest military airport to the massive Camp Pendleton Marines facility a little further up the California coast. 
The C130's uplifted the contingent of US Marines who had been in NZ for Southern Katipo 2013 and departed Christchurch for Pago Pago on the morning of 30 November.
